I know you guys don' t want to see another thread on one arcade game but if it serves to remind one forgetful person that you can only get this game free today and tomorrow, then its worth it.

It should be out by now if I' m not mistaken. Add your gamer tags if you want to play together.

Mine, Agent ghost

As mentioned before this game will support the camera periferal for 360 which i' m deffinitely getting. Who else plans to pick up the game and camera?

Anyways I think we should use this thread to post your bankroll and share some poker moments.

Yeah, releasing it free for 48 hours is cool. I' ll download it when i get home and see you online later!

My dad who dislike gaming,was seen playing texas hold' em today :P
He even unlocked 2 achivments for me.

Downloading now..

Ive downloaded it... but.. i have a confession...

I have only played once in real life - ever!

just as well we dont play for gamerscore!!


Who is planning to get a camera and map their face in?

Ah man i can do so well and lose it all in one hand,I' m so glad this isn' t real money.

Who is planning to get a camera and map their face in?

That' s one of the only reasons I thought of getting th camera.

So is it that you get the full copy of the game free for 48 hours then you have to buy it or is it you d/l it within the 48 hours and keep it?

I think you have to buy it afterwards if you so choose.

I thought it was free forever for the lucky people...

after all you could unlock those achievements and then.... what? they take them back from you?

noooooo! That would suck, out of principle I' d have to purchase to complete the hand...

Anyone have any firm ideas? If not, time will indeed tell!

Well then Im off to a good start. After just 5 hands Im already ranked #2 in my friends list for single player. Wonder how I' ll hold up actually playing you guys tho. I will definAtly buy this after the free periods up.

I was off to a good start, I had close to 40 000 in casual matches, and 10 000 in the competitive matches. Now I' m in the negative. A run of extrememly bad luck amplified by the fact that I haven' t slept in over 40 hours. Firstly a friend invited me while I was in a competitive match which had a buy in of $4,000. The match had just started and I accidently accepted the invite thus forfiting my entry fee. It was pretty much downhilll from there. I' m damn glad this isn' t real money.

Damn ghost -200...

I had my first round of online games and I lost 2,000 bringing down to 22,000 but now Im up at 27,000. Oh yeah you do the math.

Yeah I learned a life lesson this morning. Never gamble with real money if you' re sleep deprived. Poker has nothing to do with luck, a skilled player can turn any hand into a winning pot. I was one of the first people to get the game, I stayed up till 4:00am to download it (I thought it was available at 1:00am) and as I said I was doing well but the moment I started playing with a few friends I lost my focus and just started fucking around. It took me 5 hours to make 10 000 in compettitve bankroll and almost 40 000 in casual and five minutes to lose it all. Poker is crazy, I' d feel safer playing Russian Roulette then this game for real money.

Where I live my family knows a guy that used to be very wealthy man. He owned a marketplace. The kind where people sell unusual things outside in tents. The biggest of its kind in this area of the country. It' s estimated to be worth just over 1 million. The fucking loser lost the entire marketplace in one hand of poker! His wife left him, his kids won' t talk to him, he' s a completely broken man. All because someone beat his flush or whatever he had. Its nuts! but I' m going to ge back and play, being in the negative is embarassing.

This isn' t the game you can map your face in, but you can use video chat. The Texas Hold ' Em retail game has in-game avatars for which you can map your face.

If you download this game within the 48 hour free period, it is free indefinitely, and you will never be charged anything on your account. However, if you download it after the free period, I believe the price is 800 MP.

Hope I could be of help!

Hell yeah that helped. Thats one helluva deal. Dammit I just cant help but be paranoid as to there being a catch...owell.

Hey agent dont worry now as I started playign friends and realized Im no longer good. Only at the very end did I manage to bump my bankroll into the positives. :( but alas for I am no longer the board leader of kikizo...

I dont play poker, but it would be silly to not download it! is it still free today?

I played a few high stake games and after betting 50 000 and winning twice I' m back in the positive. Poker is better then chess. I went from -200 to 84 000 in a few games.
